Mission 1: Testing Track

Mission 1: Testing Track

== Limit: 8:00
Cheat: 3:40 (Saliva Spy Hunter Video)
Upgrade: Unguided Missile Primary Objective
1. Shoot all the targets Secondary Objectives
2. Pass all slalom gates
3. Avoid barrels
3. Activate all Sat-Coms
4. Place GPS trackers
5. Clear 50 meters on Turbo Jump
6. Minimize civilian casualties Phase One:
Avoid knocking down any barrels either by collision or by weapons fire. The Interceptor has "top-secret" tires that take turns more sharply than civilian models, so you can actually weave through the first part of the course at top speed. Be sure to drift to the right as you leave the course to the next phase. Going for the cheat? Make a short turbo boost here, but use no more than 75% of the boost meter. Phase Two:
The explosions are fake, but the slalom gates are real. Take them as fast as you can (to look good) and be sure to head left and up the embankment to avoid the insidiously placed barrels midway through this phase. When you pass the "last" gate, don't worry about the remaining gates -- there's more after the gun range. Phase Three, Part One:
Do yourself a favour and run down the targets with your Interceptor. It's not ony faster, it precludes you from accidently "killing" any carboard civvies. There are three (3) readily marked targets (with big, fat RED reticules) in this straight-away before you pass into the next section. To make good time on the cheat, boost slightly (50%) as you pass into the next section. Phase Three, Part Two:
There are now several targets in this Picadilly Circus roundabout. One should immediately show up as a red reticule on the right as you make the bend; use your machineguns to destroy them, then get back on track and head to the right side of the round about. Take care to avoid the civilian dummies as you ram or shoot the targets; before you leave, you should hear the system bitch mention that you completed the first objective. Phase Four:
Try not to boost since your speed steadily decreases during the cinematic. Navigate the slalom gates and make sure to head right mid-way through this phase to avoid missing one carefully hidden slalom gate. If you are to boost, do so at the end this phase since you will need a full boost meter in a little while. You will need to use the next phase to recharge your boosters. Note, if Leonie didn't state that the Slalom Objective was finished, you missed out on one gate or failed it already. If she tells you she's on her *period*, keep your pants on or you'll ride the crimson tide. Phase Five:
The green Sat-Coms are fairly easy to get. Remember to stay out of the way of the carboard cut-outs and keep at top speed for the cheat time. If you boosted after the second Sat-Com, do not boost again or you will fail Phase Seven. Phase Six:
The yellow reticules are the targets for the GPS trackers. While they have very long range, the targets are quite small. Fire away and line up the shot -- if it's blue, you tagged it, move onto the next one. Be careful of the civvie cut-outs and don't bump into them. The GPS targets will disappear after a while, so don't waddle-dwaddle. Be sure to have a full turbo meter and that you're moving at top speed (~100 mph) before you leave this section. Phase Seven:
DO NOT hit your boosters until you are lined up "more or less" straight with the ramp -- so long as you boost while you're some distance away, you'll make the 50 meters and go on at top speed and good time. [Personal Record: 92 meters) Final Phase:
The Interceptor will shed into the S.E.V. and note that the handling changes dramatically. Take care not to knock down the barrels as you head into the Weapons Van and revert into the Interceptor. The turbo boost should enable you to make a final dash for the finish line (marked by green flares) with time to spare. For Cheat:
Boost judiciously and you should make it. Don't stop for anything and make sure you are always making forward progress without failing any of your objectives. The Tiny Spy Cheat may help in navigating the barrel obstacles. ==
